Tess finds a Bible in the living room table and accuses Julie who had given it to Marjorie of taking advantage of Marjorie's condition to religiously manipulate her since Marjorie has always been an atheist , which prompts Marjorie to become upset and urinate herself.

Morricone’s career spanned almost 70 years and included groundbreadking scores for films of many genres. His compositions incorporated music performed by orchestras and ensembles of all sizes, playing many different instruments and even incorporating seemingly non-instrumental sounds such as the famous coyote-like howling in the opening of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

  • MARJORIE PRIME by Campbell Dalglish, [email protected]
    MARJORIE PRIME by Campbell Dalglish, [email protected] How much of our lives do we spend creating memories, leaving behind a trail for others to piece together because they don't want to forget us when maybe they need to do just that? It's a quiet and slow war we play with each other, and in the end, once computerized holographs have been brought literally into the picture, our perfect memories wander around speaking pleasantly about the whole ordeal without feelings (computers don't feel). Director Michael Almereyda (“Experimenter”) has orchestrated this dream experience in "Marjorie Prime," adapting the play by Jordan Harrison ("Orange is the New Black") with stars Tim Robbins and Gena Davis playing a married couple, Tess and Jon, who must manage Tess's mother, Marjorie (Lois Smith), a former virtuoso violinist, as she tries to recall her late husband Walter (Jon Hamm). Soon Tess and Jon’s daughter adopt a Chinese girl, who for the rest of her life must learn about her new family through the computerized holograms of each member. Given the opening soundtrack scored by violinist and eclectic composer Mica Levi, it makes perfect sense that Marjorie's opening gaze across the Atlantic is filled with the tension of impending doom. A multitude of violins ring out in helter- skelter dissonance, as she turns from the sea and enters her beach house to talk with her computerized memory of Walter. At first we think there is something wrong with the acting by Jon Hamm, but once we learn he is a hologram trying to help the aging Marjorie recall her life and her late husband, we enter that painful ordeal of piecing together broken memories before the waves take them away in a few receding breaths out to the sea beyond our reach.

  • “Wherein I Am False I Am Honest; Not True, to Be True” (IV.4.50): Updating Deleuze’S Crystal-Image with Almereyda’S Cymbeline
    Shakespeare en devenir ISSN électronique : 1958-9476 Courriel : [email protected] “Wherein I am false I am honest; not true, to be true” (IV.4.50): Updating Deleuze’s Crystal-image with Almereyda’s Cymbeline Par Sébastien Lefait Publication en ligne le 07 décembre 2020 Résumé Cet article propose une nouvelle manière d’aborder l’adaptation shakespearienne. Celle-ci est ici considérée comme une pratique esthétique dont le but est de tirer de nouvelles conclusions à partir de l’utilisation des machines épistémiques que sont les pièces de Shakespeare. Cette nouvelle manière de voir l’adaptation est le résultat d’une étude de cas, le Cymbeline de Michael Almereyda, lu comme point nodal entre la pièce, le film, mais encore un troisième terme crucial pour comprendre la stratégie d’adaptation mise en place : le concept d’image-cristal tel que théorisé par Gilles Deleuze. Au terme d’une analyse qui gagnerait à être complétée par l’étude de cas similaires, l’article airme que l’adaptation shakespearienne remplit une fonction didactique. Grâce à des films tels que Cymbeline, l’adaptation rappelle au grand public que l’évolution des productions audiovisuelles a des conséquences sur la réception, tout en enseignant aux lecteurs de Deleuze que le moment est venu de mettre à jour leur vision du concept fondamental de l’image-cristal. Là où Deleuze nous incitait à voir le temps dans l’image-cristal, des adaptations comme celle d’Almereyda placent le passage du temps à l’origine d’une nécessaire mise au point sur cette même image-cristal.

  • Feature Film Companion Guide
    companion Guide A Companion To Science-Related Feature Films Index From Museum of the Moving Image’s website Sloan Science & Film, this is a guide to 46 feature films with scientific or technological themes or characters. Each film has received development or distribution support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation because of its scientific content. By indexing each film by scientific subject matter and providing supplemental science content, the guide is to encourage audiences inspired by the films to explore the scientific subject matter further. Each feature film in this guide received development support at script-stage or won a prize as a completed Valley of Saints feature from one or more of the Sloan Foundation’s institutional partners, which include: Film Independent, Tribeca Film Institute, Sundance Film Institute, San Francisco Film Society, the Black List, the Hamptons International Film Festival, and more. The Sloan Foundation’s film program encourages filmmakers to create more realistic and compelling stories about science and technology, and to challenge existing stereotypes of scientists and engineers in the popular imagination. Since 1997, the Foundation has partnered with six of the top film schools and established annual awards in screenwriting and film production, and supports screenplay development programs and feature films with the partners mentioned Searching above. Partnering with the Coolidge Corner Theatre, the Sloan Foundation has awarded “Science on Screen” grants to cinemas across the country for pairing film screenings with talks by scientists.

McGovern College of the Arts University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Theatre Studies _______________ by Elizabeth A. M. Keel May 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the growing relationship between science fiction and the stage. Contemporary playwrights must overcome the expectations created by computer- generated imagery inherited through the lenses of film and television. Therefore, playwrights have collectively been required to innovate with creative storytelling and stagecraft to achieve futuristic scenarios onstage. In this study, I compare the evolving relationship between humans and their technology as explored in Jennifer Haley’s The Nether, Jordan Harrison’s Marjorie Prime, and Mickle Maher’s Song About Himself. I will also investigate the adaptation of science fiction to the stage, as Edward Einhorn attempted with his 2010 adaptation of Philip K.
